Direct manager - Duty Manager, Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Sep 2022 - Dec 2023

Anjali was an exceptional Guest Services manager. She excelled in her position and showed great passion and positivity at work always, and led by example. Her attendance was fantastic and she was very punctual, and Anjali always went above and beyond to ensure the tasks whether daily or monthly were always completed efficiently. I was sad to see her leave and I would happily work with her once again.
